which tire should i go with i hear that the 711's hook up better than the 712's and they are only 43bucks where as i know the azenis are great

but i wanted more input

thanks in advance

 

I have the Azenis and they seem to be lasting me rather well and that includes a HPDE at limerock and a smokey burnout last night too.

The only thing I did notice about the Azenis is that they don't grip a street too well if the temps outside go below 30... I guess all tires would have that problem too

 

I've been to the drag strip a few times this year and I've put about 10,000 miles on my Azenis and there's still a hell of a lot of rubber left!

 

i bet the kumhos have better wet traction than the azenis.

 

I have a similar hard choice but mine is for daily/track/auto-x use.

195/50/15 S0-3's or 205/50/15 Azenis. Hard decicion IMO. I should be happy either way though

 

go with any of them. Maximum dry grip would go to the azenis.. Its your choice though. I had the 712s before my azenis and I still think they are both good. Both last long. Its just up to you. a matter of fact. My fastest E.T at the drag strip was with the 712.

My fastest et at the strip was with the 712 also. I now have the yoko avs es100, i will let you know how these 195 50 15's do on the strip. they were only 52 bucks a peice on tirerack.

 

yea i had 712's on my last car but didnt get to enjoy them long before my car was stolen so i really dont have enough experience with them to base an opinion

thanks guys

 

What is a 711... other than your local stop & rob?

 

Go for the Azenis. You know how they are on my car.

 

azenis all the way.

 

Absolute lateral grip = Azenis
Wet handling = Kumho
Daily driving = Kumho (unless you plan to change tires every 6-8 months w/ Azenis)
AutoX = Azenis
Drag = I dunno.

 

i just got my azenis today and i still spin like crazy off the line. right when i left discount tire i went to try them out and i'll spin
all through first gear launching at 2500 rpm. do you think the psi is too high on the tires? i don't know what the guys set them
at when they put them on.

Kumho 712's will eliminate that problem for ya

 

You might try breaking them in! Try driving around for a couple hundred miles and then beat the crap out of them.

 

They're actually very very impressive in the rain. I've had both tires and don't drag race. But I would imagine the Azenis wouldn't be too great for drag, it has stiff *** sidewalls, better for cornering not really launching IMO. Maybe the 555R's are a better choice?
